Week 34
The End of an Era. Daniela Ryf was slated to compete at least one more time this year in long-course triathlon. Yesterday - in a very surprising Insta post, she shared she’s been battling some injuries and is retiring, effective immediately. Daniela Ryf was responsible for ushering in a new era of triathlon; one where women were just as dominant, fierce and entertaining to watch as the men triathletes. She dominated on essentially any course she competed; ending with 5 140.6 World Championship and 5 70.3 World Championship victories. We aren’t sure what the next era of tri will be; but we’re certain we’ll stick around to find out.
Enjoy retirement, Daniela!
In this week’s email:
Behind the Scenes Shot: Those epic shots from triathlon swim starts? Here’s how they’re captured.
Another Suspension…DOPE: Rodriguez Hernandez, IM Texas Champ, provisionally suspended for doping.
Scotland Bikepacking: Schedule your next vacation where the Loch Ness Monster roams…Loch Lomond!
👇Watch a Cadence-recommended Vid: The stunner of a 1500M runner…Cole Hocker. Did you know Team USA has more 1500M medals than 4×100 Relay medals? That’s because the relay team keeps fumbling the bag (baton).

Tidbits
✅No, No, No: Sam Long loses out on his bid for a Kona slot this year. He tried to swing IM Frankfurt, amongst his busy race/travel schedule with T100 and missed the mark.
✅Tri the Big Apple: The New York City Triathlon is the latest in a long & storied line of races to be cancelled, indefinitely. 70.3 New York is a perfect way to scratch the itch if you’re an NYC-area triathlete looking for a branded triathlon that’s within driving distance. Being able to sleep in your own bed AND not have to box up your bike, wondering if you have all the pieces? SCORE.
✅UK Gravel Cycling: Gravel cycling and gravel bikes are fairly new concepts - something conceptualized in the US, and just now making across The Pond. Naturally, the UK is primed to partake in this new endeavor; they’ve had dirt roads and beautiful countryside for centuries. Take a ride off the literal beaten path the next time you find yourself in the UK.
✅Honey, Where is my Supersuit?!: The Olympic archives are deep, but undoubtedly there’s more iconic moments than others. Cathy Freeman’s 400M win…on home turf, in THIS outfit. It’s true: legends never die, and Cathy’s performance is legendary.
